Development Update #17 - July 17, 2017
🕑 Added 2017-07-17 17:45:17 +0000 UTC Hey everyone!Now that release is coming close, I can share more info with you!
I'll start with the technical / development things, then I'll talk about the actual gameplay stuff!
So some of you eagle eyed people may have noticed on the Discord server, that there is an other Lewdlab Staff member!
All the people who I've been working with until now are contractors. So we don't work together on a day to day basis, only when there is work to be done for them, which won't take their entire month.
However, Lewdlab has it's first permanent member (not counting me).
Her name is Sophie, she is my "right hand" (no, not like that) and she will be helping out with a lot of backend stuff so I can focus more on the juicy renders. You'll see her on Discord, she will be there to answer questions when I'm inside my work cave.
With Sophie around, I can finally get to a lot of things I wanted before, but just didn't have the time for. I'll tell you more about them in the coming weeks!
I just had a talk with the programmer who is rebuilding the entire minigame system, and he's ready with the first protoype. I just checked it's very clean and easy to expand, I'm satisfied with his work so far.
Sadly, it won't be ready for the release next week, so it will only be included with EP6, but I was fully expecting this, so no surprises here.
Regarding the mingiame: Mac users who still experience the Tracy bug, it will only be fixed with the new minigame (it's impossible to fix otherwise). I'll make sure missing that scene doesn't affect gameplay in EP5, so thank you for your patience.
Now about gameplay!
We'll follow down a linear path on Day 9, with the dating sim element at the end of Day 9. However, on Day 10, you will be able to choose from mom, Alice or Tracy on who to spend the day with.
That's right, an entire day with just one of them, so you'll be able to get some more backstory / dialogue between the characters, and some more time to develop the relationship between them. Your past decisions will start to kick in even more now, especially with mom.
And no worries, I haven't forgotten about everyone's favorite aunt either. There will be plenty of steam there as well!
Also...
The Project has reached 1000+ Patrons!
I must say, I've never thought this would happen. I was always hoping for a big audience and for people to like my game, but having this many people who like and support the game in such a short amount of time has completely blew me away!
I want to thank every Patron for your awesome support! I have some special images in store for you for this occasion, I'll be rolling them out this week and the next!
Again, thank you very much guys!
- Dr Sin

Instead of making another congratulatory post I will just piggy back of Kimble's one and echo the same sentiment. I hope you don't mind Kimble. Congrats to Sin and his team for receiving the 1,000 patron mark you have certainly earnt it with the quality of your work and game. I have truly enjoyed being a player and patron here. And welcome to Sophie hope you also enjoy your time here and boost further the quality of this game even further. Looking forward to the next episode. take care ^^

A big welcome to Sophie! You've come to the right place. 1100 patrons and counting .... you deserve every one. You have elevated your game to Dr. status..... appropriate considering you have a PhD in story telling and a doctorate in character model rendering. I'm so looking forward to EP5, esp the dating sim and 1v1 time. The new minigame system and another helping hand is just the cherry on top. You da man, Sin. Oops, my apologies, I meant Doc Sin ;)

Just read the e-mail. It was marvellous to have read the good news on reaching the first mille milestone, Dr. Sin and team. I'm very, very pleased to read that there's a new member aboard the team, particularaly because it's one without the Y-chromosome. Not to diminish anyone on your team, but I'm looking forward to a feminin influence and approach on some matters regarding the game. So in conclusion: @Sophie (an excessively grateful) welcome, Sophie; @Dr. Sin, you deserve every member you've got so far and I'll bet, if you keep this game at this extroardinary high level, you''l be able to double or triple that amount in no time if you consider, and I know that you are aware of this, the astonishing numbers of dedicated followers you've got, who are always extremely impatient for the next update, and I'm just referring to one specialized forum(-site)... Note: Not kissing ass here (don't love the taste of it), just appreciative of the cunning and stunning game.

Lewdlab
Haha I have all kinds of dirty doctor jokes on my mind now. Thank you very much Jean, hope you're enjoying the summer! :)
Lewdlab
Thank you! The sky is the limit? Haha
Lewdlab
Thank you very much Kimble!
oh, now you are "Dr Sin" I'm ready to bet that you are more of a naughty Doctor than the acutal ones :P Jokes aside, every dev update is interesting to read, and I'm excited about the idea of day 10, and glad that you get more support with a new all time partner! and congrats for the 1000 patreons, now you'll have to organize a LAN with all of us :D (really, congrats, you deserve it, you're the most honest (and I think hardworking) developer in the adult games on patreon)
Oh wow, congrats on hitting 1k patrons, this is huge! And congrats on expanding your enterprise. Can't wait for the new release.
Welcome Sophie! Truly deserved SIN! You and your Team are doing an awesome job! Congrats!
